Eric Knight's original boy-and-his-dog classic follows the adventures of a beloved collie who is separated from her young master and undertakes a danger-filled trek across Scotland and England to rejoin him.

A homicidal artist does away with a wife by lacing her milk with poison, and after remarrying and eventually falling out of love with his new spouse, tries the same manner of murder, but she begins to suspect he's up to something nefarious.
